The Monitor Loves a Good Second Banana

The Monitor is back this week with HBO’s Beltway comedy Veep, Danny Boyle’s new film Trance and a new G.I. Joe comic.

But the show this week doesn’t just begin and end with a wicked political satire; there’s also a dark little post-Oscar number from Danny Boyle and a comic book that takes you inside the minds of the second-greatest enemy spy agency in pop culture (the first, of course, being SPECTRE. And if you write us to say it’s actually SMERSH, then we’re going to pretend we never got the email.)

Also, above, when we wrote Seline Meyer, we first actually wrote Selina Kyle. Who is Catwoman. That is all. Oh, except this: Julia Louis-Dreyfus would make a pretty great Catwoman. Think about it.

Enough digressions for you? Okay, got it. Just watch!
